Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Oilers Lines, Pairings

The Boston Bruins will return to TD Garden on Tuesday, taking on the Edmonton Oilers in the second night of a back-to-back.

The B’s look to be getting back on track, as they’ve haven’t needed to play an extra period in three consecutive games. Boston has won two of those matchups, and bounced back nicely from an ugly loss to the New York Islanders with a win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.

The Bruins won’t make any major changes as James van Riemsdyk plays in 1,000th career game. Boston head coach Jim Montgomery is keeping Jakub Lauko in on the fourth line, while the new-look blueline continues working together.

It’s Linus Ullmark’s turn in the goalie rotation, as he IS STILL a member of the Bruins… obviously.
